Crop Image for Researchers
The journal portal caps submissions at 20 MB and your figure-rich manuscript is 45. If you work as one of the researchers, you have been there. Confileo's Crop Image tool trims an image to the exact dimensions or aspect ratio you need — free, in your browser, with your files deleted automatically the moment you are done.

- Merging dozens of source papers into one annotated literature-review PDF.
- Compressing a figure-heavy manuscript to meet a journal submission limit.
- Extracting tables from PDFs into a spreadsheet for re-analysis.
- Redacting participant data before sharing a dataset publicly.

Crop Image — Frequently asked questions
Is Crop Image free for researchers?
Yes. Accurate table extraction saves hours of manual data re-entry. There is no signup, no trial and no watermark on your files.
What kind of files can researchers use Crop Image for?
Crop Image works with the documents researchers handle every day — journal papers, datasets, grant proposals, survey results, literature reviews and conference posters. A common case: Merging dozens of source papers into one annotated literature-review PDF.
Can I crop to a specific size?
Yes. Set a precise ratio or pixel dimensions for the crop.
Is the original changed?
No. You download a new cropped copy; the original stays as it is.
How do I crop an image for a profile or cover photo?
Pick the right ratio (such as square for a profile) or set pixel dimensions, then drag the crop box into place.
Can I crop to a specific ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?
Yes. Choose a preset ratio or enter your own so the crop stays precise and consistent.
Does image quality drop after cropping?
No. Cropping only removes the edges without re-compressing the remaining part.
Do I need design software to crop an image?
No. Cropping runs in your browser for free, without Photoshop or any program.
